It’s Scott’s birthday, and Mike LeBonte has big plans for his boyfriend. However, the Pawtucket police have other plans for Mike, and his own past returns with an offer he could refuse - at Scott’s peril.

Stress affects people differently. Then, there’s magic. Mike LeBonte is house-sitting while his sister and her new husband go on their honeymoon. What could happen in two weeks? First, his cousin Becky calls him saying she’s being followed. It could be the mafia. Or it could be the church she’s trying to separate from. Then his boyfriend tells Mike his ex is coming to visit. Then Mike meets his parole officer - a Knight of the Rosicrucians, the very people who put him in prison. With all this stress, it’s no wonder that Mike resorts to magic to cope. But like any drug....

Michael LeBonte is set free after five years in magic prison. All he has to do is stay on the straight and narrow path for the rest of his life.

His sister has welcomed him back, he’s met a cute guy, and he’s found a nice job assisting the local private investigator. But his expertise does not go unnoticed, and he gets pulled back to do what got him sent to prison in the first place.
